The final chapter, the Army of the Six Routes

Previous Chapter

Zhao Zilong was not afraid at all, he rushed forward with a roar, stabbed to death one person who rushed to the front with one shot, and then swept again, directly sweeping over five or six people.

Yuan Tan Ting shot up, and after five rounds, he was stabbed in the right leg by Zhao Yun with a shot, and rolled off the horse directly, wailing on the ground.

After this action, even Yuan Tan was defeated, how dare the rest of the people make another attempt?! Qi Qi took a step back.

Zhao Yun was disdainful in his heart, and said secretly: This Yuan Shao's army is really nothing more than that! He was himself present that day, and the army was not able to kill him, and now these hundreds of people are really more likely to be shocked. Thinking of this, he was very disdainful in his heart, but he did not underestimate the enemy because of this, but just pointed a gun at Yuan Tan and said, "Where is Yuan Shao?" ”

"If you want to kill, you will kill, I will not say." Yuan Tan twisted his head to the side and said coldly.

Zhao Yun said: "You are a little righteous, wouldn't killing you damage my Zhao Zilong's prestige." I will spare you, and run away. Ignoring Yuan Tan, he chased straight forward. Yuan Tan was just about to flee with his people, but Zhao Yun's subordinates behind him were killed, and the two armies inevitably fought again, and Yuan Tan finally took more than 20 cavalry to break out of the encirclement and patrol the dense forest.

And Zhao Yun rode after him first, bypassed a hill, and saw a young general in white clothes surrounded by a wave of troops, and after a closer look, he found that it was Xin Ainu.

Zhao Yun roared, and the killing general went up, stabbed several people to death in a row, and then drew the sword at his waist to cut down their military flags. Yuan Shao's scattered army was suddenly chaotic, abandoning Zhao Yun and Xin Ainu and fleeing separately.

At this time, Zhang Yuan also took the guards to kill, the three of them joined forces, chased forward, and encountered the fleeing Yuan Shao's small army many times along the way, but they were not able to block the attack of the three people, and the three of them chased after each other, until they reached the mouth of a canyon, and saw a scuffle in front.

The three of them glanced at each other and immediately killed the generals, but this wave of troops was Yuan Shao's dead soldiers, and it was Zhang Yu who entangled them.

Zhang foresaw that it was his brother Zhang Yuan, Zhao Yun, Xin Ainu and others who came, and he was ecstatic in his heart, and killed Yuan Shaojun together, and together with the three of them, asked, "Brother, have you seen Yuan Shao?" ”

Zhang Yuandao: "We heard that Yuan Shao fled here, so we chased after him, weren't you responsible for intercepting him, didn't you see Yuan Shao?" ”

Zhang Yu said suspiciously: "I saw an army killed, and immediately led everyone to kill it, it was indeed under the banner of Yuan Shao, but I didn't see Yuan Shao himself, you chased him from behind, didn't you see him?" ”

Zhang Yuan and the others all shook their heads, and Xin Ainu was even more depressed, and directly looked in the other direction and killed him. Zhao Yun and Zhang Yuan saw that Xin Ainu was gone, and explained that Zhang Yu would continue to stay here, while the two of them chased Xin Ainu away. Xin Ainu is Zu Zhao's concubine, if something happens to her, it's really not a good thing.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Yuan chased Xin Ainu, asking her not to go deep alone, and it was not too late to wait for the troops to arrive. But Xin Ainu was eager for revenge, and now that Yuan Shao was gone, Jiang Yueming was distressed, and where could he listen to it, so he still rushed forward to kill.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Yuan were very helpless, so they could only chase after them.

Nearly five or six miles away, there was a faint deserter in front. Xin Ainu didn't say anything, and rushed forward directly. Turning a mountain beam, suddenly the front was thrown forward, and the ambushes were exhausted on all sides, and the general at the head was Yuan Shao's current right-hand man Liyi.

In his early years in Liangzhou, he was proficient in the Qiang people's tactics and led Yuan Shao's elite troops. Seeing that Lu Yi was here, Zhao Yun somewhat understood, Yuan Shao estimated that it was not far from here, but they were surrounded by Lu Yi with his army, and the enemy had four or five hundred elites, and it was not easy to get out of trouble and continue to chase.

Lu Yi said: "The people who came should be Zhang Yuan and Zhao Zilong, the generals under Zu Zhao, as for this female general, it should be Xin Ainu, right?" I ask you all to have the courage of ten thousand people, and today I will lead five hundred soldiers to meet you. Why do three people dare to chase after us like this, really deceive us and no one? ”

Xin Ainu said: "I don't care who you are, I just want to catch Jiang Yueming." Where the hell is he, as long as I hand him over, I can hold no one else accountable! Xin Ainu is bent on avenging his father, and now he is not hiding his purpose.

Koji Yi smiled: "The Xin family is a famous nobleman, and your tone is really not small." Why are you in such a hurry to find him? Oh, I remember, it was he who suggested that the lord kill your father. Unfortunately, this is mainly due to your father's stupidity. If someone dies in your family, you will take revenge, so will you also take revenge when someone else dies? You must have killed a lot of our soldiers along the way, right? Then it's time for me to settle the matter with you! ”

He was going to provoke her, but Xin Ainu was really angry when he heard it, so he directly slapped the horse's back and rushed up to kill him.

But as soon as he took two steps, all of Koyi's subordinates surrounded him, and Xin Ainu was attacked by the two of them, and he couldn't advance or retreat, and the situation was critical. When Zhao Yun saw it, he was surprised, Yuan Shao had used Koyi's private elite to sneak attack Gongsun Chan many times, and Gongsun Chan's elite army was a little embarrassed. Zhao Yun has also fought against this army many times, and knows that its individual combat ability and overall coordination ability are very strong, and he has a good fight with Zu Zhao's elite cavalry and heavy infantry.

Seeing Xin Ainu's crisis, Zhao Yun and Zhang Yuan killed the soldiers who surrounded him and went to help Xin Ainu. However, the other elites rushed up again, they were good at using chain weapons, shuttling back and forth on horseback, they could disrupt the enemy's formation, and they could easily capture the enemy generals, which surprised Zhang Yuan and Zhao Yun. The two fought for a while, and they couldn't get out, but fortunately, although Xin Ainu was a little weak, he could still resist it, and there was no major danger.

Koji Yi also seemed to see that Zhao Yun and Zhang Yuan wanted to support Xin Ainu, and ordered more people to surround the two to fight, so that they could not get off to help, and Koji himself also pulled out the sword at his waist and killed Xin Ainu. Seeing the crisis of Xin Ainu, Zhao Yun roared, pulled out the sword at his waist, and threw it towards Koji. Seeing this, Koji Yi raised his sword to block it, glanced at Zhao Yun, and continued to kill Xin Ainu.

With a swing of his sword, Xin Ainu rolled straight off the horse, and the saddle was immediately slashed, and a wound appeared on the horse's back.

Koji Yi stepped forward and tried to step on Xin Ainu in response to the horse's hooves, but she rolled on the ground and dodged it. Zhao Yun and Zhang Yuan were entangled and couldn't get out at all. This is the dead soldier army led by Lu Yi, they only attack but do not defend, they fight together, take the attack of others as their own defense, and do not put their own lives in their eyes at all, so even if Zhao Yun Zhang Yuan has the invisible ability to kill, in the face of the entanglement of such a dead soldier army, he still can't get rid of it quickly.

At the moment of Xin Ainu's crisis, a wave of troops suddenly came out, and it was Zhang Yu. When he saw that Xin Ainu was in danger, he directly commanded the elite cavalry led by him to rush inside without thinking, and Koyi's army was instantly confused.

Zhang Yu even took Koji Yi directly, and shot him directly to the head. Koji Yi saw that Zhang Pre was coming, and he was also shocked in his heart, and after less than twelve rounds of fighting, the hood on his head was knocked off by Zhang Pre with a shot. Koji Yoshiki was shocked and turned around the dock to escape. Zhang expected to chase, but was entangled by a group of dead soldiers, and watched Liyi flee the battlefield with a group of dead soldiers.

Everyone fought for a while, and the dead soldiers of Koji Yi fled to death, no one can stop the pursuit of Zhao Yun and others, and Xin Ainu was even more anxious and kept rushing to the front. But after a day of pursuit, there was still no trace of Yuan Shao. Xin Ainu actually wanted to find the strategist the most, but she never knew about it. At night, Zhao Yun and others lit the torch together and spent the night in the same place. Unexpectedly, Zu Zhao sent someone to say that Jiang Yuehua had been caught, and Yuan Shao did not take the usual route under the escort of a group of dead soldiers, but escaped from a mountain cliff. In the end, he went down the river and went to Cao Cao's army.

Xin Ainu was very excited when she learned that Jiang Yuehua was caught, and quickly returned to the camp, and sure enough, she saw that there were many people tied up inside, and several of them were untied by the soldiers, and it seemed that they chose to surrender to Zu Zhao.

Xin Ainu entered the camp, and after Xiang Zuzhao's surname was Li, he immediately looked at Jiang Yuehua angrily and asked fiercely: "You are Jiang Yuehua who designed to kill my father?" ”

Jiang Yuehua trembled and said, "We are each our own master, and I can't be blamed for this." Now that I have surrendered, you will bypass me, I am willing to take you with me to exterminate all of Yuan Benchu's bases, I know where all his troops are equipped with grain and grass, as long as you can spare me from dying, then I will definitely bring you the greatest harvest. ”

Xin Ainu scolded: "Originally, we could have died and shared the allies, but you are treacherous and do that kind of thing, it is really unforgivable, I don't want Yuan Shao's army, and I don't want the world, I just want to see my father's murderer die under the knife, this is my wish now." ”

"However, I didn't kill your father, I just provided advice as a strategist that I should provide, and the decision to adopt it or not to adopt it is all in the hands of the lord, how can I blame me?" Jiang Yuehua quibbled.

Xin Ainu said: "You show that you murdered the leader of the allied forces, and now you are willing to betray your lord for your own life, a ruthless and unrighteous person like you, even if I don't kill you, you ask all the generals here, if anyone agrees that you can live, then I will not pursue it." ”

Jiang Yuehua listened, and seemed to see a glimmer of hope, he first asked Zu Zhao for help, Zu Zhao ignored it, and he once again asked Zhao Yun and other generals for help, but none of those generals interceded for him, and a short-tempered person like Zhang Yu directly kicked him and made him die.

In the end, Jiang Yuehua saw Fu Zhu and Tian Feng coming in from outside, so he pleaded with them, saying that Xin Ainu had agreed, as long as someone here was willing to let him go, then he could not die. After listening to Jiang Yue's words, he was also sentimental in his heart, after all, it was a colleague. But he always resented this guy in his heart, especially when he framed many strategists around Yuan Shao in order to compete for favor, even if he was frustrated with himself, he was almost killed by him, and he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I also want to help you, but I am a general, I can't speak." After speaking, he silently left his side.

Tian Feng was the last person Jiang Yuehua asked for help, he cried and begged Tian Feng for help, saying that he had never offended Tian Feng, and hoped that for the sake of everyone's colleagues, he could let him go.

Who knew that Tian Feng had a cold attitude when he heard this, and said: "At the beginning, there were people like you around him, so he had an indecisive character, otherwise according to his strength, he would have been able to win the world a long time ago." It's a pity that because of your willingness, he always refuses to listen to us, and now you have ended up in this situation, which is also self-inflicted or fate. You'd better be at peace, like a man, don't cry. After saying that, he also stood aside and paid no more attention to him.

Jiang Yuehua begged again, no one was willing to help him, even those generals, they didn't dare to speak, they knew that in fact, they could live a lot of Zu Zhao, but this Jiang Yuehua designed to kill Xin Ainu's father Xin Changdao, and now it was Xin Yuenu who wanted to kill him, not Zu Zhao, so even if someone interceded, in fact, he would inevitably die in the end, but the death method would be different.

In the end, Jiang Yuehua was dragged out and beheaded in a loud cry. Xin Ainu was full of anger and wanted to kill Jiang Yuehua in person, but in the end, she didn't even look at it, just shook her head and sighed, and bowed to the sky, saying that she had avenged her father, and hoped that he would be blind if he had a spirit in the sky. Now she has decided to marry Zu Zhao, and the Xin family's forces will also be called by Zu Zhao to compete with him for dominance in the world.

After Yuan Shao was defeated, he fled to Cao Cao's naval army for help, and later came to Xuchang, hoping that Cao Cao could send troops to destroy Zu Zhao, and now Zu Zhao has killed Gongsun Zan in the rear, and the front has been dragged for more than a year, and now he is already seriously injured, and it is the best time to attack.

Cao Cao agreed, but he was busy dealing with those forces in the north that did not belong to Zu Zhao, and wanted to compete with Zu Zhao in the north, and Jiangdong had been looking for opportunities to act, he didn't want to be dragged by Zu Zhao now, as for how to deal with Zu Zhao in the future, he naturally always had an idea.

Yuan Shao was in Xuchang, and Cao Cao treated him politely, but he just regarded him as a guest, and didn't say anything to him, and even didn't see him once in ten days and half a month, Yuan Shao was disheartened, and finally left Xuchang and returned to Bohai.

At this time, Yuan Shaoqi actually still has a lot of power, although Guandu was defeated by Zu Zhao in the first battle, and half of the 500,000 troops were absorbed by Zu Zhao, but most of the cities in Jizhou belong to his sphere of influence, and the people of Jizhou also love him and support him, after all, Yuan Shao has made a lot of contributions to the pre-Jizhou, and in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, although he failed to directly destroy Dong Zhuo, he can be regarded as a great contribution.

After Yuan Shao returned to Bohai, he learned that his two sons were killed on the way back from failure, and he cried sadly day and night, and he didn't want to make a comeback, but just wanted to spend the rest of his life in Bohai. When the general Liyi saw Yuan Shao like this, his heart changed, and he wanted to kill Yuan Shao so that he could take his place and compete with the world.

But this opportunity was discovered by Yuan Shao's people, and after Yuan Shao knew, he immediately summoned Liyi on the pretext that he was unwell and had the power in the army to hand over to Liyi, and Liyi was defenseless, and went to see Yuan Shao alone, but he didn't think that as soon as he entered the house, he was detained by a group of people, and he struggled to turn it over, and he couldn't get off. In the end, he was dragged out by Yuan Shao and beheaded.

Later, Yuan Shao cried sadly day and night and died in Bohai. After Yuan Shao's death, his forces were successfully annexed by Zu Zhao, and Zhang Yu was allowed to guard Jizhou. After years of development, the pattern of the world has gradually formed, after Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, he was ambitious and deceived Jingzhou of Eastern Wu, which was originally two allies, but they looked like they were separated. And Cao Cao still controls the Son of Heaven and coerces the princes of the Son of Heaven Linglu. However, at this moment, all he can blackmail are some small warlords, like Zu Zhao Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou, but they can't order.

Cao Cao saw the threat of Zu Zhao, he decided to destroy Zu Zhao at the door of his house first, chose to start from Jizhou, which was guarded by a lone army, and ordered the generals Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei to attack Jizhou with 200,000 horses. Zu Zhao's general Zu Ping struggled to resist, but in the end he was killed in battle and coexisted with Jizhou.

In the name of the Son of Heaven, he let Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou, Xuzhou Liu Bei, Xiliang Ma Chao, Southern Meng Shu and Changshan Black Mountain Army have no way to besiege Zu Zhao, and he himself also sent an army to participate, forming a momentum of six groups to surround Zu Zhao.

Zu Zhao hated Cao Cao because of Zu Ping's killing, and he couldn't imagine that he would still deal with him, this was a good opportunity to send troops. So at the suggestion of Chen Gong, he directly became an independent country, the country name was Hua, Bai Chen Gong and Fu Zhi were the prime ministers of the left and right, Tian Feng was the great Sima, Su De was the great secretary, Chen Youzhi was the commander-in-chief of the school, and the rest of the generals were all upgraded, opening up the ability to resist with other groups.

Zu Zhao sent Zhao Yun and Yu Ban to resist Liu Bei, let Zhao Meng resist Ma Chao, let Han Dang resist the Montenegrin army, let Zhang Jaw and Zhang Yuan guard against Eastern Wu, and at the same time he led the army to fight Cao Cao in person. Although the six-way army is huge. But they all have their own ghosts, Zu Zhao separated Dongwu and Liu Bei, let Ameng sneak attack Jingzhou, killed Guan Yu, and then Liu Bei sent troops to take revenge on Dongwu, but failed.

In the end, the Six Route Army did not cause harm to Zu Zhao, and Ma Chao surrendered to Zu Zhao, and Liu Bei's forces were also annexed by Zu Zhao after his death. After that, Zu Zhao launched an attack by Cao Cao, Cao Cao was defeated and defeated by Eastern Wu. Later, Zu Zhao fought a decisive battle against Eastern Wu, and after the Battle of Chibi, he destroyed Cao Cao and Eastern Wu and unified the world.
